The scene opens with the emperor and his wife discussing the recent events. The emperor asks the wife if she went to the wrong movie set, and the wife replies that she didn't go to the right one. He asks if the emperor is planning to kill her after all she's done, and she replies that the emperor's "heart is unpredictable" . She asks the emperor if he's planning on killing her after he'd done all he could to save her life, and he replies that he would have killed her if she hadn't saved his life. The general then asks the woman if she knew that what he said was her repayment for her efforts, and if she had known sooner that what she said was his repayment, she would have wasted her efforts. The woman says that she marched to the battlefield to fight for the country, but the emperor ordered her to correct her face. She says that now that the war is over, she doesn't have to put her life on the line to defend the country. She tells the emperor that if he believes in her, then she'll never marry, never bear a child, and never marry off herself and never have a son. She also says that if she dies in the war, the emperor can keep her position as a general, and that she can ask for her husband's hand in marriage if she wants to. The women then leave the room.
